When I stopped reeling after finding that list, I had to take a note of the few signs and symptoms I didn’t have and count my blessings.

This list of signs of peri-menopause and menopause was developed by women on the Internet ‘Menopaus’ mailing list, hosted by St. John’s University. The list 35 symptoms is based on the real life experiences of these women. All symptoms appearing on the list were experienced by numerous women and were either cyclical in nature, or responded to treatments (both traditional and alternative) known to address hormonal imbalances.
